COASTLIFE August 14 2025
This episode of Coast Life brings you stories of community generosity, life decisions, and everyday insights that make a big difference. Kendall Gordon starts things off at the Lewes Fire Department for a check presentation hosted by the Shaffer Foundation, where founder Kyle Shaffer reflects on the incredible support raised during the 4th Annual Rally for Responders and how it will benefit our local heroes. If you’ve dreamed of making coastal Delmarva your forever home, we take you inside The Estates at Bridgewater by Schell Brothers to see how it could become your personal oasis. Leah Rizzo and Charlie Sokaitis then dig into fascinating new research from the University of Texas about what makes videos go viral, unpacking the emotions—like love, surprise, and authenticity—that drive shares, and even sharing a few joyful moments of their own. In this week’s Spill the Tea, Leah and Charlie debate the ups and downs of dating a co-worker, exploring whether it’s worth the risk. We also highlight Preston Automotive Group’s back-to-school supply drive, helping Sussex County families and teachers gear up for the year—especially at Sussex Central Middle School, which holds special meaning for organizer Dom Grebe. Finally, Dr. Ercilia Arias joins the show to discuss the importance of healthy sleep, the risks of not getting enough, and practical tips for creating bedtime routines that work for the whole family.
